On Sunday (3/3) morning, I was amazed that Kumquat was sleeping in.  Once she woke up, it had been over 12 hours since she fell asleep the evening before.  Brother and Joy were up with me again and they made Spam, eggs, and rice while I cut up the pineapple.

Here’s a little look at our vacation home.  This is the front view.  There are two master bedrooms with master baths for each room upstairs.  On the ground floor, there’s a smaller room with two twin beds and a detached bathroom.  That’s where Jes and I slept since it was closest to the baby who would be sleeping in the livingroom.  There’s a decent kitchen, livingroom, and diningroom on the first floor as well.  In addition to the house itself, we had our own patio in the back complete with chairs, a table, and grill!!  Here’s the view from our house – not bad, huh?!  It was even nicer from the bedrooms upstairs.

And here is Puamana Beach, which is just past those coconut trees in the previous photo.

When the rest of the house woke up, we packed up for a little shopping trip in Lahaina.  One of the first stops was at Hula Cookies and Ice Cream.  We got a few cookies warm out of the oven and scoops of ice cream.  I got the Kona Mud Pie ice cream that was so delicious.

Once the baby woke up from her nap, we went to Aloha Mixed Plate for lunch.  Sadly I didn’t take any photos but it was your typical Hawaiian mixed plate fare including teri beef, mac salad, poke, and loco moco.  Afterward we drove up the coast to check out Honolua Bay. It was a beautiful bay but there’s not much of a beach – too rocky for a 10-month-old.

Oh and check out our dope ride.  It’s a minivan with automatic doors and plenty of room for all seven of us.

On the way home, we stopped at Leoda’s for some pie. We shared the pineapple lemon tart and the Olawalu lime pie.  My favorite was the pineapple lemon tart.

Once we were home, there was enough time to go out to the beach and then to the pool.  We hung out at the beach for a little while but the surf was starting to get a little crazy.

So, we headed to the pool and it was pretty fun watching the baby float around in the pool.  Brother did his impression of a breaching whale and we all got a good laugh.

For dinner, the boys made a tasty steak and asparagus dinner on the grill and we all went to bed with full bellies.  Today was a good day.
